It’s been a while since I’ve posted regularly here. I’ve still been actively involved with the circle but work and other personal stuff has limited the time available to do the write ups –let alone the audio transcriptions that I’ve been promising for weeks!
Mind you, Chris has kept everything running with the introduction of the ‘official’ diary blog which has kept everything up to date.
This week’s events were actually quite quiet by our normal standards. As was predicted by our spirit team a month ago, activity appears to have been much reduced over recent weeks; although we are assured that there is a great deal going on that we don’t have visibility of.
This week, we were much reduced in numbers as David and Brian, were unable to make it to the circle. So there was only myself, Paul and Christine in the Lodge.
It was indicated by FC (via Chris) that we would have a development evening which involved Paul be placed in the North corner with myself next to him on one side and Chris on the other.
The intent was for Paul to go into ‘trance’ and with my support and encouragement allow him to bring through someone to speak to us. Chris was to act as the witness.
The music was started up and almost immediately I felt myself falling away backwards toward the now familiar half asleep/half awake sensation.
I could feel ‘energy’ building up around me but couldn’t really create enough intent to wake up and see where Paul had got to.
-one aspect of this ‘altered’ level of consciousness is that once there, the inclination to come back is decreased. A bit like soaking in a warm bath. You know you can come back at an instant if necessary, but you’d really rather not!
After a while, I was aware again of the increase in energy around and in me and I could feel my body starting to tense up (this happens now much less with each time I practice trance, but it is strong enough still to make me aware that someone is trying to get through. If left to my own devices I’d probably just drift along quite happily until it was time to go back indoors for tea and biscuits!)
Someone came through and after some initial messages, started to speak directly to Paul who was drifting in and out (he later told me) of a kind of trance/meditation state.
With coaching from the spirit who was with us, Paul was able to identify and see for the first time a spirit guide that was with him.
From my own level of awareness at the time, I thought that they were trying to get him to go deep enough into trance for him to allow a communicator to come through but it now seems that the intention all along was to bring him another step forward in his own personal development –which they did with flying colours.
There was some other stuff said I believe, but as the ‘medium’ there’s not much I recall of that part. You’ll have to email Chris and ask for more details if you want them.
Brian’s back next week. I’m off to Eindhoven for a few days for work but will be back again the week after.
See the Spirits Aloud Journal, for further updates next week.
The Sanctuary
In 2007 a small group of interested people decided to set up a
home circle dedicated to learning and understanding more about Physical
Mediumship.
This circle was named the Bristol Spirit Lodge - as Chris, whose home
hosted the circle and who created the idea, lived in Bristol at the time.
The BSL grew and evolved over time with many sitters and mediums coming
and going. I myself developed my own abilities as a Trance and Transfiguration
medium but the hoped for physical phenomena didn't appear to be on the agenda.
Much of the early development records as experienced by myself are
recorded in this blog up to the point where I really felt I was unable to add
anything new to the record.
In May 2013, some 5 yrs down the line, the BSL has relocated to Clevedon
and gone from strength to strength. Numerous new home circles have spun off and
have set up on their own and links to many others have been created
6 months ago, a young lady, wife and Mum contacted Chris to enquire
about physical mediumship. One thing led to another and she has now been sitting
in her own circle within the BSL for development with some amazing results. The
speed and level of her development has been stunning.
A few months ago, her spirit team who have been communicating through
direct voice whilst Emily has been in deep trance, told us that they wished to
form a small closed circle to sit weekly with a handful of dedicated sitters in
support to start what they called the “serious work”.
Last week was the inaugural sitting of the closed circle and what
follows below will be my own subjective account of my personal experiences
during this and subsequent sittings.
Chris will continue to update her own account of course on the BSL
on-line diary. My own diary in no way replaced these, this is just my own
personal record for my own interest and for anyone else who wants to follow.
